UMPI Collecting credits before applying?

As someone who works in the realm, I would REALLY reconsider med school at 54. It is a 200-250k (Caribbean/US...Canada a bit cheaper) investment and realistically you wouldn't get done with residency till 60. Then you have 5-6 years of actual practice. You will spend your entire paycheck on loans. Med school is pretty ageist so I would be surprised if you got an admission to be honest. Even if you killed it with GPA/MCAT scores.

The oldest resident I have known was early 40s (started med school mid late 30s) and he was really questioning his decision at that time.

In-person for pre-reqs is HIGHLY preferred...

I'm 48 and I can't even imagine beginning med school at my age. I couldn't keep up with the hours required for studying and then internships and residency.....kill me now! It's one thing to go without sleep for a day or 2 in your 20's. In your 40's it's a whole different world.
